In case you’re wondering , I do like to photograph other things beside birds and plants, namely people and this program called “Cultural Safari Afrika” inititated by the City Council provided an opportunity for shutterbugs like me with unlimited access to take pics of people without worrying about asking consent/permission first. The only regret I have is that I didn’t take enough pics !! And I would have actually like to take a couple of portrait pics of the pretty Ethiopian girls or lovely Congolese women etc.

These are the girls I’m talking about . The dashing African MC was distracting them at this moment , I would like to personally shoot him (on camera of course).

I’m sorry , I should do this in order, the opening ceremony by local Aborigines elders and didgeridoo musical artistes.

Ethiopian coffee ceremony held in a large white tent with a lovely Ethiopian women in traditional costume as a hostess.

Some artefacts from the exhibition in the local library.

More African stuff in the display box, would be more visible if not for the reflection of the light on the ceiling.

The place to sample some African food – Eritrean and yummy. This man was fixing the banner everytime I came to take pics.

Dancers from I’m not sure which part of Africa they are, but they look real awesome.

Lovely African women in traditional wear in a fashion parade. The loveliest of them leads the pack.

This toddler was into the groove. She really hit it on the dance floor.
